Everyone loves stats

I was reading/approving/editing some comments just now and realized I have received over 70,000 comments (based on current comment id#. Which made me all excited until I realized, most of that was spam comments (as was the case for comment #70,000). None-the-less, I thought I’d share with you some relevant stats about my site in case anyone was interested.

In other news, I’ve been nominated for a web award. A real one, not like that fake one I nominated myself for. This one comes from Kristi of The Winchester Mantoni’s…and other stuff. Kristi is “Just a normal newlywed from South Dakota living in Winchester, Virginia. A Graphic Designer by day and a poker player by night!” But more than that, she’s my inside scoop to the the world of American Idol and So you Think You Can Dance (about an hour before we watch it, which drives my wife insane)

I will now pass on the honor per the following requirements:

1. The winner can (and should, really) put the logo on his/her blog.
2. The winner must link to the person from whom they received their award.
3. The winner must nominate at least 7 other blogs for an award.
4. The winner must place links to those blogs on their own blog.
5. The winner must leave a message on the blogs of the people they?ve nominated.

Thanks for the award Kristi, and thanks to my nominees for your blogs, they really are worth reading.
